‘Would be frightening’, ‘We can dream’ – Some Celtic fans react to club’s approach for £25m ace
Celtic have made an approach to sign the Tottenham winger Ryan Sessegnon. The 20-year-old has not been a regular starter at the club since his £25m move from Fulham and a move away from the London club would be ideal for him. Sessegnon needs to play more often at this stage of his career and Celtic can provide him with that opportunity. The youngster can play as a left-back as well and his versatility would be an added bonus for the Scottish giants if they manage to sign him. Sessegnon is a prodigious talent with a massive future ahead of himself. Celtic would have a future star on their hands if they signed him. As per reports (h/t Daily Record), the deal could be difficult to complete because of the finances involved. It will be interesting to see if Celtic can convince Spurs to let...
Aston Villa are now reportedly facing Celtic competition for ‘very special’ player
Premier League club Aston Villa are reportedly facing competition from Scottish Premiership giants Celtic for Niclas Eliasson. French publication L’Equipe reported last week that Villa are interested in signing Eliasson from Bristol City in the summer transfer window. The report also credited French club Nimes with interest in the Swedish winger, who was described as a player who “can be very special in the Championship” by then City head coach Lee Johnson on the English club’s official website in August 2017. However, it seems that Villa will face competition from Celtic if they are to sign the 24-year-old, who is actually a very versatile attacking player and can play as an attacking midfielder, winger or left wing-back. According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic are planning to make a move f...

‘I’ve been told by sources’ – Club legend hints Celtic could move for Leeds United player
Celtic are reportedly interested in signing the Leeds United defender Barry Douglas this summer. According to Celtic legend Frank McAvennie, the Scottish champions are keen on signing the 31-year-old before the transfer window closes. McAvennie said to Football Insider: “I’ve been told by sources about the boy at Leeds, Barry Douglas. Maybe something is happening with that in the background, I do not know. I do not know what the situation is but I have heard that he is a really good player.” Douglas is in the final nine months of his contract and Leeds could look to cash in on him this summer. He’s not at the club and therefore the chance to join Celtic could be tempting for him. The Hoops need to bring in a quality left-back and the 31-year-old should prove to be a useful o...
Report: Celtic could return for 27-yr-old, they have tried to sign him previously
Celtic have been linked with a move for the Sampdoria defender Omar Colley this summer. According to reports (h/t Sportwitness), the Scottish champions could return for the centre back with an offer soon. Kristoffer Ajer has been linked with a move away from Celtic this summer and if the Norwegian defender decides to move on, Colley could be a decent replacement. According to reports, Celtic tabled an offer of around €10-12 million for the defender previously but Sampdoria were not keen on selling the 27-year-old for that amount. It will be interesting to see if Celtic can agree on a deal with the Italian outfit for Colley. The Hoops have already signed Shane Duffy from Brighton to improve their defence and Colley could prove to be another wise investment. Celtic have done well in the leag...

‘Offers absolutely nothing’ – Some Celtic fans are frustrated with 55-cap international’s display
Celtic picked up a narrow 2-1 win over St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership last night. The champions were 1-0 down in the game after Lee Erwin scored at the back post from a corner. However, new signing Shane Duffy and midfielder James Forrest helped Celtic come from behind to win the game.
